Traditionally, software release management for a proven combination of a production computing system and a development computing system is used to create changes for transport to the production computing system. In an environment with both a vendor and associated customers developing synergistic software, and where the production computing system is continuously updated with new software version from the vendor, both software developers and users wish to see the new software versions before the new software versions are used in a production computing system. A synchronization failure between the different software development efforts can result in software failures in not only the development computing system, but also in the production computing system.
